Ye I don’t blame Jackson for chainging it, there was less time to explain in the movie and the payoff was bigger. What works in books does not always work in films and vice versa

Their only weapon is fear, and they do not liberate minas tirith, but only scare the mercenaries off their black sail ships. Aragon uses the boats to quick travel to minas tirith with his elf and half elven friends and fresh troops from the south.

Jackson’s changes are generally improvements to the story or at worst understandable compromises for a different medium.

Our three weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency…and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope…
